The date for this edition is taken from SABIB 3 (p. 141), and also suggested by the fact that the chronology included in the book takes events up to Von Lettow-Vorbeck's surrender in November 1918. 'Those who have been through it may laugh and make light of it; it is their right, and it is their gallant way! But there will be many among us to whom the hardships and sufferings, endured by ours for us in the East African Campaign, will be a sobering and ineffaceable memory. To know that the starved and ragged scarecrows are not caricatures, but just pictures from life of "our boys," brings a "catch" in the voice when the laughter should be unbroken, and not many will be able to look at such pictures as "VICTOR" and "VANQUISHED," or able to read "I have nothing to complain about!" without an afterthought.' - From the Introduction by Sir Percy FitzPatrick.
